Huge ripoff for $12. The menus show three completely full layers in the cup. Yet we were served this “large” with a huge gap in the middle. As you can see, we hadn’t touched the food. This is how it was served. A huge ripoff and extremely deceitful. Don’t know if this was a mistake or it’s always this way but we won’t be going back.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The bowl was incredible! I ordered the coffee, chocolate, oats, and cookie dough combination, and it was a delightful choice. It's perfect for lunch—light, refreshing, and delicious.

4.5 Stars: Cute & clean shop, staff was friendly and helpful in explaining the options and offering recommendations! Also offered taste tests which was helpful. This was my first acai bowl and it did not disappoint! My -0.5 star (if I was able) would be for the price: after tip was over $15 for a “small” (it was not small though, it was rather large!) which I was not expecting. Also (and this could be a pro or a con) the fruit was mounded so high it was hard to get my spoon in without it falling out of the bowl. As an aside for the health-conscious: I don’t know that these bowls should be marketed as “healthy” as the smoothie base was more like a sorbet (a lot of sugar). But as a treat it’s delicious and (depending on the toppings you choose) much more nutrient-dense than ice cream, I suppose!
